Default Question about Mega Voyager

Since MegaRanger is Japanese, why do they have "Mega Voyager" written on the front of the cockpit in English ???

Wouldn't it make more sense to have it written in Japanese?

Because English is a more widespread used language in the world?
Many games too have the same trend

Have it written in Japanese when INET is supposed to be the International Network of Excel-science and Technology?

Obviously they use English because it is an International language, like what BozQ says, it is the most widely used language in the world.

That is one of the funniest websites on the web. Except for maybe homestarrunner.com.

Not fluently or anything like that. It's just like some High Schools require you to take and pass a foreign language class to graduate.

Why would knowing English make you cool? This is the stupidest language on the planet.

The Japanese know enough English to allow them to do this. They do this in many other places as well.
they also do it cause they think its cool to write/speak in english, read this in an interview with an anime director.
